Cockroach reproduction records in the laboratory at 50% and 30% relative humidity

Records of offspring production for 192 female cockroaches (Blaptica dubia) kept at either 50% or 30% relative humidity for two weeks during gestation. We then kept all females alone at 50% humidity for 10 weeks and counted the number of nymphs each female produced in up to two clutches.

Statement
Female cockroaches were obtained from the Evolutionary Ethology Lab stock population, maintained at the University of Aberdeen since 2021. Each female was given the opportunity to mate with two different males from the stock population during a two-week period. The females were then exposed to an experimental treatment of either 50% or 30% relative humidity for two weeks during gestation. Subsequently, all females were kept at 50% relative humidity for 10 weeks, after which the number of nymphs and clutches per female were counted. Data collection took place from 29/12/23 to 23/01/24. Quality checking against original laboratory notebooks and reformatting took place from 18/03/24 to 05/08/24.
